Poem - Wendy-Cat

Thursday is a serious day for writing serious things. Luckily, I wrote this over the course of the week, so it’s a little bit funny. I hope it makes you smile.

My family is now complete

We took in a little cat

A good choice for a poet

As it’s easy to rhyme with that

If we had adopted something else

A lion, chimpanzee or lizard

I’d struggle to write a poem

Without a handy blizzard

Maybe one day we’ll look elsewhere

Get a snake or a mongoose

But to do so would make things difficult

And make my poems more obtuse

Maybe a hippopotamus

But probably not an eagle

That would limit my rhymes

And make them sound less regal

So I’ll stick with little Wendy-cat

She’s much calmer than a dog

I won’t bother with fancy animals

I’ll write poems about my mog
